Hydrangea

Hydrangea, in the herbal trade, is the root and rhizome of Hydrangea arborescens, a deciduous shrub native to eastern North America also called seven barks. Nustras supplies hydrangea as dried root powder, cut root and root extract for the herbal supplement category. The root contains the coumarin glycoside hydrangin, together with other coumarins, flavonoids, saponins and resin, which serve as marker constituents.

Hydrangea root is formulated into capsules, tablets and powder blends, liquid extracts and tinctures, herbal teas and multi-botanical premixes, most often in traditional-style formulas.

The dried root is a light-brown to greyish-brown cut material or powder with a faint odour; extracts are brown fine powders or liquids. Identity is confirmed by macroscopic and HPTLC examination against reference material, and extract strength is standardised to specification. Heavy-metal, pesticide-residue and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies hydrangea root in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. Hydrangea arborescens root is an accepted herbal ingredient in major markets; buyers confirm the plant part, use level and permitted claim for their application.
